Anyone know the answer to this? (sub 16613)

Hi Everyone,
What a great site!
Can anyone help me with this:
I recently brought a second Bi Sub 16613 2005/6, i thought it looked slightly different to my other one...
The numbers in the bezel are silver rather than gold, am I right in thinking that's what would come on the white gold version?
Any ideas why mine has silver numbers?
I brought it from a pawnbroker so 99% its not moody!
Look Forward to hearing back....

need photos but the bezel inserts tend to fade to a silver colour, they start out gold or could be an aftermarket insert, please show us pics

What does "its not moody!" mean?

It`s difficult to say whether the insert is genuine or not,any opinion on my part would be a guess.
